I have developed one Windows Phone 8 app using VS12. I am currently testing it on emulator. I want to forward this project for further testing. So, my question is how to create a package of same.
Thank you.
the package is in your project, path like this: ProjectName\Bin\Debug(or Release)\yourAppName.xap, you can get the xap file in this path.
In case we talk about Windows Phone 8.1 (not 8.0) the way to go is different. Open your solution in Visual Studio, then click the project with your Windows Phone code.
Important: you must have the project as "blue-selected", i.e. focused. If your Solution Explorer widget lost the focus and the project is "gray-selected", nothing to appear in the menu as enabled item.
Then, having the project selected and focused, immediately go to main menu: Project -> Store -> Create App Packages

I am published one app in store in windows phone.now I want to change my published app name.how to change app name,please help me.how to change app name.
my app name is xyz.in
Actually My package name is xyz.in.xyz.in
my package display name is xyz.in
now i am changed package display name is abc.in.
but what happend is whenever I am creating package,after successfully created package the abc.in is changed again xyz.in.what should I do.
In your Package.appxmanifest file under the Packaging tab, change the field Package display name.
You can also have a localized app name by specifying ms-resource:AppDisplayName as the package display name, but then your .resw files need to have a string with the key AppDisplayName and of course you need to reserve the localized app names in your development dashboard on dev.windows.com.
You need to reserve a new name for your app in windows store. Check this link Changing your published app display name. It shows step by step.
Step One:
Reserve your app name in the Windows Store (like #Rohit said). Instructions here.
Step Two:
In Visual Studio (2015) go to Solution Explorer, select your solution, expand Properties, open WMAppManifest.xml, select the Application UI tab, enter the new name in the Display Name field.

I am a windows phone 8.1 developper focus on Library developping.
Recently I encouter some strange question.
Details:
I have developped a windows runtime component named "Com.AMap.Api.Maps"
In my developping project,it works fine.
But,when I new a wp8.1 app project,and reference the output file ".winmd"
Input a type in the windows runtime component,like this below:
under normal circumstances，it should work(and it do work on my college's computer!)
but in my computer,problem appears
shows:cannot resolve symbol "Com"
but it is different from the misspelled type,because you can go to its definition
I have tried reinstalled my Visual studio but the problem remains
vs 2013 u2
Can you help me?Any advice would be appreciate!
Uninstall Resharper and problem disappears

Cannot resolve symbol when referencing .winmd file
I create universal project type in vs 2013 for 8.1.
In windows phone project i added reference to WriteableBitmapEx via nuget. In references i see WriteableBitmapEx.WinRT. I write code which creates WriteableBitmap from content (use image in project with Content and Dont copy properties). Next i create Image and set source to WriteableBitmap and add image in LayoutRoot grid. In emulator i see this image, thats ok!
Next i call DrawLine method from WriteableBitmap and call WriteableBitmap.Invalidate().
I dont see my line...why?
1) Why reference name ends with .WinRT, is this normal?
2) Why invalidate method not work?
NOTE: in windows phone 8 project (not universal) all works properly! And reference name not ends with .WinRT.
Help me please!
As already said in my comment, I had the same problem. After hours of confused searching, I finally found this trivial reason:
For universal apps, there are actually two projects: MyProject.Windows and MyProject.WindowsPhone. You need to add the nuget package for both of them (they have separate references) and everything will work.
I have created a background agent project and added it as a project reference in my main phone application project. I was expecting it to automatically update WMAppManifest.xml with something like the below:
<Tasks>
<DefaultTask Name="_default"
NavigationPage="MainPage.xaml" />
<ExtendedTask Name="MyBackgroundTask">
<BackgroundServiceAgent Specifier="ScheduledTaskAgent"
Name="FooManMark"
Source="BackgroundAgent"
Type="BackgroundAgent.ScheduledAgent" />
</ExtendedTask>
</Tasks>
The periodic task still seems to run in the background (at least in a debug build), so I am wondering if the extended task element is still used in Windows Phone 8?
I am using Visual Studio 2012 Update 4
That's a difference in Windows Phone 8 that this reference is not added to WMAppManifest when you add the project reference, but when you actually build the project. If build the project and unzip the created XAP file and check the content of the WMAppManifest, the ExtendedTask is there.
I've described this in more details here.
I installed Aptana Studio 3 on my windows machine.
I created new WEB Project but when I expand my Proj folder I can see only "Connection" tab. Nothing else. What is the prob? what should I do to get all the files?
Forgive me if the following is what you already did but I was not certain what steps you took from your question/post ... I'm going through the standard steps for creating an HTML 5 Web Project with the Boilerplate templates:
Open Aptana ( duh :) )
File -> New -> Web Project
Provide a Project Name and select your directory if you don't want the default used
Press Next
Select the checkbox for 'Create the project using one of the templates'
Select the HTML5 Boilerplate (use the cached one - I can never get the other, networked one to work)
Select Finish
You should now see the new project and all its default files in your App Explorer view in Aptana.
If you followed those steps but it still fails, I would file a bug (or, at the least, check the existing issues with Aptana) at:
